Your agent can also be a relative or friend, it would be advantageous if it were someone you could trust and that you know reasonably well.

A healthcare agent should be a person that knows the ins and outs of your medical wishes and must be prepared to follow the out as you wish. Your healthcare agent should be confident enough to ask the doctors and nurses questions, especially the ones that may have an impact on your life. Many people will not be prepared to take on this responsibility as it may have a great impact on the way one’s life may end if anything happens to you. When you select someone who you trust, you need to explain to that person what the sole responsibility will be. HEALTH CARE AGENCIES
